When I had to start bottle feeding my LO, I felt sad, defeated, and angry. Now, four months later, he is thriving and hitting all his milestones, so it was for the best. But now, with my first period rearing it's ugly head since, well basically before I was pregnant with my first LO, in June of 2009, I'm so excited to take midol again!! And I can take it because I'm not nursing! Anything you are looking forward to or enjoying because you aren't breastfeeding anymore? (another big one for me is unlimited coffee!!!)
-
Pizza! Ice cream! Coffee! Beer! Cappuccinos!
-
I am still breastfeeding but cant when I finally stop I look forward to being able to take any medication without having to worry or feel guilty about it.
-
a BURGER, or pizza, CAKE, Ice Cream, COFFEE..... pretty much just being able to EAT without reading labels. Hopefully though DD will grow out of it sooner than later so I'll be able to continue bf'ing AND get those things. lol
-
Food. Oh so yummy food. No more diet restriction due to LO's allergies. No more washing pump parts. No more lugging around a pump everywhere I go.
-
I have to say that putting down the pump has been really nice!
Also, not having to wear nursing friendly clothes all the time!
-
@regberadaisy: uh oh, i consume all of those things regularly)i pump exclusively). Are the pizza and ice cream bc of dairy restrictions?
-
@betsyboop: yeah I'm on a MSPI diet. So no worries!
@runsyellowlites: why no burgers? -
Luckily LO has no allergies (knocking on wood) so the thing I am looking forward to most is not using my breast pump! I kind of hate that thing.
-
@regberadaisy: I've added wheat to my list of no eats! Totaling SIX of the top 8: Dairy, Soy, Egg, Tree Nuts, Peanuts, Wheat & Coffee (not on the top 8 but she still gets really fussy & breaks out in a wicked diaper rash if I have it)
ETA: Since I don't have a whole foods store ANY where near me, finding rice bread hasn't been an option. Thankfully HEB carries rice pasta though b/c I might die without pasta! lol
-
I'll be excited not to be engorged anymore and not having to time my days around pumping. Oh I can't wait!
-
@mrsjazz: I'm with you!
I can't WAIT to get rid of the pump! 22 more days of it and then I'm quitting.
